Warehouse at Brooklyn catches fire

Brooklyn: Massive fire broke out at Williamsburg warehouse at Brooklyn in NewYork. The authorities fear that the building might collapse.

The FDNY deployed a fire boat in the East River to put out the flames. the neighbouring areas have been covered with dense smoke. Strong winds carried ash and soot that fell from above several blocks away from the waterfront blaze at North 11th Street.

“I smelled this burning smell and I looked up and saw all of this smoke billowing,” said Heather Schmidt, a local resident of the area.
